In simple English
Your email inbox fills up with newsletters and junk over the years. Cleaning them out by hand takes hours of clicking. This extension scans your mail folders inside Thunderbird and finds every subscription. You can then unsubscribe from everything in one place and clean up the old messages. Nothing leaves your computer, and no cloud service reads your mail.
What it is
An extension for the Thunderbird email app that scans your messages for subscription headers and links. It groups them by sender and lets you review, unsubscribe, delete, or move past emails.
What it is good for
Anyone who uses Thunderbird and wants to get rid of years of unwanted newsletters without trusting their password to an online cleanup service.
- Runs entirely on your machine with no cloud servers or accounts needed.
- Detects unsubscribe links and headers in thirteen languages.
- Includes a dry-run mode so you can test every action safely before changing your mail.
- Requires Thunderbird version 128 or later to run.
- Processing thousands of old emails can take some time on slower computers.
- Only works inside the Thunderbird desktop application.
